What Writing Is Teaching Me About the Power of Staying?

Motivation fades away, I felt low some days, made excuses to avoid writing, hesitated to express, but I didn't stop, stayed and continued. I didn't step back from what I promised on the very first day to myself. On this journey, I am facing problems and have faced many too, but I give my best effort every day.

Initial days were full of excitement. I thought it would be simple to write what I think and experience. With joy, I started expressing through blogs, finding it much more difficult than I thought. As days passed, the thrill to write ended, but I didn't stop writing. I stayed and carried on.

After that, some days felt more boring than the initial days. But there was a change I saw while writing blogs, a bit of grammatical improvement. I felt happy and continued writing for that improvement.

Now I neither feel excited nor bored, but normal. Every normal day passing has its own learning. Thinking with calmness to present honestly is the result of staying. Some days feel special, other days not; this doesn't define my identity to skip my blog writing. For me, every day is a teacher which teaches me something out of the box every time.

Discipline, consistency, and emotional stability matter to grow, but do they all require excitement? For me, no. Excitement has helped me write freely every time, but sometimes it has left me with dramatic effort. When it fades, growth seems visible.

Now it's my routine to write my blog at a specific time of the day. A sudden click seeing 11 on the clock is the best thing over anything for me right now. Ups and downs have affected me much, but I preferred staying over leaving.

Consistency over leaving, the path is visible almost after two months.

Why I Decided to Start Writing as a Beginner?

As you could understand by the title only that I am trying blogging even without experience. Today only, I created my Blogger account for a single reason — the reason that many of us face nowadays, the inability to talk to anyone but wanting to talk out our views. Some say it’s an introvert kind of behaviour; I don’t think it’s introvert behaviour. In fact, I think it’s all about a person’s hesitation in talking to someone. I am the same kind of guy who doesn’t know how to convey himself to others. All I have is the hesitation of what if someone says something. Then I decided, why should I not write to express myself ? Writing is the only mode of communication I am comfortable with. Why starting felt scary? Starting to write is the most difficult part. All I was doing was thinking about what I would write and what if it doesn’t work out for me. There was a certain sort of confusion going on in my mind and a little bit of fear about whether I would write things well. The ma...

What hesitation taught me about starting something new?

Yesterday, I wrote a blog about writing a blog without experience. While writing the blog, I was having a certain sort of confusion or hesitation, which is normal for me. But I thought it is a universal rule that whenever an individual starts something, he or she faces certain confusion or has a fear of judgment. A fear which can be considered the biggest problem an individual faces before starting something new. But I thought, what is there to fear? Whosoever judges me, just judge. Fear is normal, but overcoming that fear is not normal for everyone. I know my efforts will help me overcome that fear. I made that effort yesterday and wrote. It felt amazing after writing a blog. I felt that no judgment can break my will to write. Hesitation and fear can only be beaten by the key known as consistency — a word which is familiar to everyone, but not everyone follows. I was also a non-consistent person, but I thought, why don’t I become consistent if it helps in my growth? Why d...

How Daily Writing Is Improving My Focus and Clarity?

Hi everyone, how are you all? Today’s topic is something that we all look for to do any sort of work. It’s something that is required even before the starting of any work, i.e., focus and clarity. Isn’t it, guys? Have you ever started your work without focus or clarity? I think no, because you can’t even think to start without these two. Guys, just tell me, do you like scattered things or well-mannered things? I think well-mannered will be the answer. So where does it come from? It comes from focus and clarity.  Earlier, I wrote about the thinking of thoughts or the web of thoughts that revolves in my mind for writing and not starting it; they all were scattered thoughts. But nowadays, I know what to write and how to write. That’s the work focus and clarity have done for me. I know from where to start, and I know what to write about my learnings and thoughts in the blog. The scattered thoughts got channelised into a single one, i.e., to start writing. Daily writing play...
